Insait long talk.origins, "Uncle Davey" <noway@jose.com> em i bin
raitim dispela tingting:

>I had heard of Svea, as one Swedish company in Poland took the name Swea
>(Polish spelling) but I had never heard of Dana.

'Dana' is not as common as 'Svea' (very far from, actually). I have an
impression that it is more common in use by Swedes as a parallel to
'Svea' than it's used by the danes themselves - but the Danes do, at
least occasionally, use 'Dana'.

>I suppose the UK version would be Britannia, since John Bull is, like, a
>bloke.

Yes, Britannia is closer to how we "picture" 'Moder Svea', like on our
older bank notes: http://w1.860.telia.com/~u86006969/1890.htm

>Is there a Norwegian one?


Danish things are *much* more familiar to me)

>Nora?

I've heard it in use - but that can be as a "Svea-parallel" only.
